Patent number: 6861061Abstract: A water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion with a discontinuous aqueous phase dispersed in a continuous oil phase has in the continuous oil phase a linear silicone polyether, an ?,?-diene crosslinked silicone elastomer, and a nonionic organic emulsifier. The W/O emulsion is otherwise free of silicone elastomers prepared using unsaturated compounds containing silicon atoms. Either the discontinuous aqueous phase of the W/O emulsion or the continuous oil phase of the W/O emulsion contains a water soluble or oil soluble active ingredient such as a vitamin.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Bartley Dean Maxon, Michael Stephen Starch

Patent number: 6406684Abstract: Roll-on, soft solid paste, aerosol, and stick underarm compositions contain (i) an antiperspirant or deodorant active ingredient, (ii) a vehicle, (iii) an emollient, and (iv) a blend of a silicone rubber powder and an &agr;,&ohgr;-diene crosslinked silicone elastomer. When the silicone rubber powder and the &agr;,&ohgr;-diene crosslinked silicone elastomer are present in the blend in a weight ratio of 1:2 to 1:6, respectively, roll-on underarm compositions possess low separation of less than one percent, and syneresis is minimized in soft solid paste underarm compositions.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Cassandre Michelle Fecht, Michael Stephen Starch

Patent number: 6121373Abstract: Thickening can be obtained by adding a silicone latex to the water phase of a water-in-silicone emulsion, instead of adding the silicone latex to the silicone phase of the emulsion. The latex is used in a range of about 0.1-5.0% by weight. Thick emulsions are made by (i) separately preparing a silicone phase containing a silicone polyether and a cyclic siloxane; (ii) separately preparing an aqueous phase containing water and at least one active ingredient; (iii) adding the latex to the aqueous phase; and (iv) combining and mixing the phases.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1998Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventor: Michael Stephen Starch
